RBG R.I.P.

One of Justice Ginsburg’s most well-known dissents criticized a ruling that struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act. Shelby County v. Holder (2013) made it possible for jurisdictions with a history of denying voting rights to Black Americans to make election-related changes without first seeking approval from the U.S. Department of Justice.

In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg stated, “Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”

Idiots are hereby relieved of any obligation they may feel to comment.

Yeah. A bee sting on a crying face, as the Japanese would say.

I haven't seen either of the flicks about RGB. I have followed her Supreme Court career, but I don't read the social buzz, so I've missed out on her celebrity. Escapism like Crash Landing on You is more my speed these days.

    When that news broke the other night, my heart dropped... for so many reasons.
I really want to go down to the Supreme Court. I left flowers at the British Embassy when Diana died, I attended the mourners book when JFK and RFK died, but this damn virus...

    I feel such a sense of sadness and doom, really ... I just hope everyone that wants change, VOTES! I hope you are fairing well, J.
Virginia used to be a swing state. We finally had enough. Now it's Florida and Pennsylvania's turn.

I'm doing fine, M.

Hang in there. Remember what Winston Churchill said about his American cousins. "The Americans always do the right thing... after they exhaust all the alternatives." I think we're pretty damn well exhausted. If we're not, a supreme court nomination will certainly put us over the edge.

Notorious and amazing, not a bad mix.

 It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
